I came to Arsenalen last summer, fifteen minutes before opening time and Stefan Karlsson was just taking out the trash on the parking lot. Such a normal and humble guy. ;)

"Oh bugger the tank is on fire" Swedish edition, well done sir! Chieftain will be proud, bet he can't do the same :P

Ryan will be relieved to hear that he's not the only curator/director that gets send into all the narrow and dirty spaces for our amusement.

Great to see Stefan again - missed his wonderful Videos & gentle sense of Humour. Between Stefan doing these gymnastics & Ryan from Battleship New Jersey crawling through the entire length of one of the Ship's 16" Gun Barrels, isn't it time The Tank Museum stepped up? 😉

Thanks fot your sacrifice for the comunnity!!, Good job in this escape, many thanks!!

I'm a little claustrophobic. Got almost some shivers from the video.😵‍💫

It's really fun to see Stefan and the 103 again. He has such interesting stories & experiences (and he's Swedish :D), and the tank is such a unique design with amazing characteristics and an amazing figure!

Credit to Stefan for squeezing out of that escape hatch lol I would like to see a video about how the S-Tank is kept in running order by the museum

Score one for us old guys. I have to admit though I flinched a little when I saw Stefan's head getting close to that support stand. Glad he missed it!

Our man Stefan hasn't lost the moves, he was out the hatch in no time.

A well trained wiggle. Fantastic!

"oh bugger, the tank is on fire and the hatch shrunk as badly as my uniform!" Thank you, it's magnificent.

Awesome job! You haven't forgotten your training from the old days! I do still remember much from mine. But you put it to the test!

Not to shy to do it himself. Great director and funny man

Well done! ...that is a job for a young fellow!

Interesting as always. Your experience of tanks helps tremendously with your story telling. Excellent. (glad I don't have to do that under heavy enemy fire)

it would be really cool to see the procedure for engaging targets in the 103 and if possible, compared to the 104 :D

Sweden should re create this model ASAP, with the newest tech angle & new metal tech & greater new ammo type & Cannon size, engine. Everythin!

Wow, fascinating, thanks, I had no idea

Now do it as Quick as possible.... As great man said... "OH bugger... the tank is on fire"

Aloha; very interesting and entertaining. Yes; I can empathize with your regret about doing this! Now for the Chieftain to follow suit - "Oh look, the tank is broken down and we're under fire - time to use the alternate exit!" Mahalo

Oh Bugger, the tanks on fire! 😱

I'd like you to do that in the normal battle gear (mid/late 90:s), including the helmet, weapon, and gas mask. :)

Next time Nicholas Morgan is Their AKA The Chieftain , he should try it . The 1000 Krona donation was worth it .

Tack för the intressanta och roliga videos ni lägger ut, väldigt informativa. Jag får komma och besöka er någon dag.

Interesting - thanks. Of course in the event of a real escape event the hatch would already be open for the commander making it a little faster.

It`s awesome! many thanks!

What I'd like to see would be the optics, the sights and the periscope view. That and loading a shell, filling the fuel tank, routine maintenance, pretty much anything from cooking to sleeping would be interesting though.

Kul hur du bjuder på dig själv 👍 Kanonfilmer!

I like to see the how S-tank is set up in amphibious gear

He exited the tank like a slippery eel. Damn.

We need Nicholas Moran "the cheiftan" to visit Arsenalen and try this Challange ;)

Your one brave soul to do this for the public.😋

Good one. Thank you Sir!

Great effort! Let’s see if The Chieftain can do it!

Congratulations!

Good job and yes more videos like this.

i love the S-tank so much

I think you are in pretty good shape. Cheers.

Great, I was a bit reluctant, but you made it out quite well, congratulations. Not a bad construction. If possible, I would like to see you (& team) firing the S-tank, a eral shot, but not only the shot, the whole procedure, aiming, loading and releasing the shot from the inside. Just a proposal.

I would really like to see me driving it 😎

Well done!

So Cool!

snyggt jobbat! (nice Work!) 😄

you sir are an impressively flexible man

Crush some cars !!!!! S-Tank versus a tree, S-tank vs a horse (race) and so on S-Tank vs a 2CV The possibilities are endless, and that tank does not look tired. Awesome looking thing. What are the tubes on the side?

Sofilein - gets out in 5 seconds.

So, basically, this is "oh bugger, the tank is on fire"

"Åh, bugger, tanken brinner"

Nice video and good education thanks. And of cause nice work getting out of the S tank 😀 i would love to try actually, don't think i can do this as fast as you

I like to learn more about the suspension of the S-tank, how does it go up and down?

🥵 Now do it in the dark with smoke, to simulate fire after LAW strike🔥 🤯 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

nice!

Great video and congratulations :) I'm very grateful my ferret has two side hatches that are much bigger than the S-Tank's/

Det har du gjort förut!

Nice video

The irony is that the worst part of this little exercise was probably getting the dropped hatch back on, since one has climb under the tank, pick up the rather dense piece of steel while lying on their back or stomach, then hold hold the thing up against gravity while carefully aligning the bits! Very kind of the people to go through that hassle for the benefit of us people on the Internet.

The S-Tank is my favorite tank of all time. I would like to see a side by side comparison of the S-Tank and a regular tank traversing the gun as well as adjusting angle. Just to see the speed difference. How much does it change on different Terrain like dry sand vs deep mud?

WOW AMAZING CAR

I would like to see The Chieftain to do the trick, but I don't think it is physically possible :)

uh, i'd never have thought that the floor hatches would have been used for escaping when the tank was under fire, only if tipped over; i guess it'd make more sense than to try your luck going over the top the ideal would be a hatch in the rear face of the hull/turret like the rear door on the French WWI-interwar turrets or loaders hatch on the German big cats

That was both interesting and entertaining, many thanks! How do you say in Swedish "Oh my God, the tank is on fire!" ? ;-)

I didn't think I was claustrophobic... but after watching that I'm not so sure!

I have to assume that by the time the commander gets to the hatch, it is already open.

Skulle vara roligt och se om hur Nicholas skulle lyckas med detta.

Can you please show how to start the engines from the inside like where the starter buttons are located

That was great. Who was tasked with putting the hatch back in?

After doing that one time we didn't get the seal tight. Discovered that the same moment we drove through 1 m of water 😮

LETS GO SWEDEN GANG

Maybe you should get a current serving Swedish soldier to do the same exercise? In any event thanks for showing the emergency exit process.

I would love to see it driven at its max speed

Ow, I bet that resulted in an epic collection of scrapes and bruises.

show us hwo to turn on the tank engine and how to open the engine hatches

Is it possible for you to check the internal armour thickness between the crew and where the engine bay is?

How do you start the engine of the stridsvagn?

Interesting procedure to see. How fast can a trained crew leave this tank like that? Greetz DutchDave

How difficult was it to train the Main gun on a target? Especially when the S-Tank is dug in a hull-down position?

My only concern is real-world field-conditions, regardless of season. Soft ground or snow will block that route no matter the crewman's size... I'm not claustrophobic - just don't close the hatch ;) Respect to all Tankers

grilled hotdogs please!

Is there any protection system in the case that the pneumatic suspension fail? (If the tank in under direct fire maybe some systems are failing) --- I think that it will very awful being crushed by the weight of your own tank.

Thank you for the video, the procedure is interesting. However, I do have a question, around the one-minute mark. You have 6 cylinder-shaped items with small fins to your left, what are they?

Bravo! Now I'm using this word... does it originate from brave ..? 🤔

Jag fick klaustrofobikänsla bara av att titta på filmen.

Visa gärna hur man fäller upp flytanordningen så att vagnen kan simma.

Hur många luckor förlorades under vanlig körning?

Hur den låter när den skjuter på riktigt

Okay.. That was on perfectly flat surface. What if you drive offroad and the tracks are 30 cm in the mud.

Interesting video, now dress in crew kit, with a full crew and set the tank on fire.🙂 But take your microphone off😉 Thank you for making the video👍🏻

I just wanna see every single thing about the s tank lol

Imponerande, en mask skulle inte gjort det smidigare!

No "fatties" in an S-tank!!!

Now make the Chieftain do it haha

Of course, the wagon will always be on a hard surface and not half way up the wheels in mud and soil, just sayin' ;-)

actually, this vehicle should be given to the Ukrainian army. The training interval is short, it is easy to use and you have to try it. What can it do in a real war ??????

I think that he cheated! He has been on a diet since New Years Eve, he made his NYE promise to his wife to lose at least 10kg before BEACH22. Well done! Russian/Soviet tanks are usually smaller? And they only hired small statued personnel, is that true?

En liten film om IKV-91 vore kul att se,gjorde min militärtjänst som laddare på just IKV i Strängnäs 1981-82
